The “Pause playing while Phone in call” feature is not working, and actually makes the phone more difficult to use. I also have “”Keep remote above lockscreen” enabled. When I took the call it locked the phone, then every time I tried to unlock it the phone would keep flashing to a black screen, until the call finished, THEN it let me unlock the phone and pause the movie.
I am using Kore v2.1.0 on a Galaxy Note 5 (SAMSUNG-SM-N920A) running Android 6.0.1. Service Provider AT&T.
It would be nice if both features played nicely.
